“Clark Haass, an Oregon-based writer who chronicles his obsession with the shape-shifting dish on the website Hashcapades.com, is more broad-minded. “In the final analysis, it’s more about the chopped or shredded nature of the dish than whether or not leftovers are involved,” Haass says. He has enjoyed “deconstructed” hash, in which chopped corned beef was adorned with asparagus spears and shoestring potatoes, and another version of hash that was “more like a stew.” – Jim Chiavelli

“Third place went to the hash [Clark Haass], combining sweet and Yukon Gold potatoes, crumbled smoked salmon, dill and crème frâche. Both the hash and migas earned praise from judges for packing a heck of a lot into 140 characters; one judge pronounced them to be on a different plane as the others because of their complexity.” — Leslie Cole
